The dog which is featured in the left hand corner and right hand corner of the messageboard, database link anyone?

I'm going to hazard a guess, and say Ursus or a close Ursus descendant. It's hard to tell from a thumbnail, though. Oli's probably the only one who can tell us for sure.

Nice looking dog, and I am not crazy about German Showlines (if that's what he is). He's got some roach to his back but nothing near the deformed examples I see regularly in the database. The pale coloring of his front limbs is little odd, but not in an off-puting sort of way.

I think that's just a shaft of sunlight, GoldenElk. Light conditions can do weird things to a dog's colouring. Here's a link to Urus's photo in the database for comparison. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/6186.html And yes, I'm positive that's a showline dog.

Is Ursus still alive? It's amazing how he 'stamps his get' as horsemen say! You can sometimes even spot offspring that are 3 generations removed from him!

Anyone here ever see him work?

For example, I just had to take one look at this bitch, and I knew there was Ursus in her pedigree:

Yup, she's an Ursus grand-daughter!

Hmmm, looks a lot better in the smaller pic. Yes, trick of shafts of sunlight and shrunken pixles...

If it is Ursus it's not the same picture that is in the db. The rope/line in the backround isn't in the db pic. I think it is Oli's little secret, this question has been posted before without an answer that I have seen... :-)

What if that dog does not exist...??> Theresa and I had been asking OLI for the dogs name... to no reply... It maybe a trick under Oli's sleeves...A surprize maybe... :) Nevertheless I want to contradict what GoldenELK said about the roach, I think its a pretty normal back to todays standards...

Have a nice vday :) Marci

>>>Nevertheless I want to contradict what GoldenELK said about the roach, I think its a pretty normal back to todays standards...<<< Since todays "standards" for German and American showlines border on abomination and obvious deviation from the actual standard, I wouldn't count that as a positive thing. I'm in agreement that the icon dog probably doesn't exist. Photoshop fabrication.

So GoldenElk... you're into working lines... or are you...??? You have a new set of GSD standards other than S.V. or the FCI standards...???
